Sept. 21, 2006 — - Studies of resumes have found that people with black-sounding names are less likely to get callbacks.

"20/20" put 22 pairs of names to the test, posting identical resumes except for the names at the top.

I'm not trying to be a racist or anything but study research is invalid how could they forget the following:

Shanikua, Lashonda, Laquana, Monique, e.t.c.

I agree with Aiman.. How could they leave those names out, they are commonly used names by African-Americans and Afro-Carribeans.

And as for the "blackest" male names, Jerome, Jermaine, Marcus etc etc..

What about Portfolio, Cafe Ole, Lexus?

There was a time when it wasn't possible to distinguish. Then the "Black Pride" movement got rolling without thinking through the consequences of naming children.

What, they forgot to take racist Whites into consideration?
